Summary

Previous research has proposed employing telehealth in hearing healthcare to improve clinical care and increase access to hearing services. Several studies have shown that hearing support can be carried out without in-person meetings and lead to significant benefits for hearing aid users. Interventions for persons with hearing impairment improve communication and improve outcomes more than hearing aid use alone.

The first purpose of this study is needs-oriented and the second purpose is research-oriented. The needs-oriented purpose of this project is to, via a national website of health information and services for Sweden, provide needed online support to hearing aid users. The research-oriented purpose of this project is to document the effectiveness of the online support compared to traditional support that the Hearing Organization, provides ("standard care").
